Prize Giving at Brunel College
At very short notice, I was invited to Brunel College assembly on Wednesday 4th December 2013 to present a prize for the best decorated box designed by tutor groups.
The staff and students at Brunel College did a magnanimous job to donate such a huge amount of books, stationery items, sweets, chocolates, etc., to further our work at REC primary school in Hamilton Village. The books will be placed in the school’s first library, which is part of our plan to build. It is also proposed for provision to be made to train some of the teachers on how to manage a library, store the books well, protecting them from insects, rodents, damp etc., giving the children and staff the value of having and accessing a library.
A big thank you to everyone at Brunel College for all their hard work and effort in supporting this cause in whichever way they felt able.
Textbook Handover
Melrose Asgill, our Project Coordinator, and Ayodele Betts-Priddy (Lottie’s daughter) were able to hand over a full complement of textbooks to the headmaster, teachers and pupils.
Water Project Completed!
We are delighted to tell you that for the first time REC Primary School in Hamilton has running water. There are taps now outside the Head-teacher’s office, the toilet and the kitchen, significantly improving hygiene at the school.
Christmas Party at Thomas Peters School
There was music so the children were able to dance and really enjoy themselves. The photographs show how much fun the children had on the day The headmaster was also able to arrange for the front of the school to be painted in the school colours with the balance of the donation.
